THE GREAT HEREsY TRIAL.


The trial of the Andover professors
for teaching heretical doctrines, con-
trary to the adopted creed of the theo-
logical seminary. was commenced on
Tuesday of last week. The defence of
tas professors was opened by Prof.
Theodore Dwight, of Columbia Law
School. a large audience being present.
His speech ELECTED applause, which the
presiding officer found difficult TO re-
strain. A considerable proportion Of
the spectators were elergymen. The
interest in the trial has been wide
spread in New England and has been
noticed i'll the religious and political
papers in many of the states. Prof.
Smyth being regarded tie leading man
of the alleged heresy doctrines, was
given an opportunity for defence.
His address occupied four hours
Prof. Blaisdell, of Beloit College, who
was one of the four accusers of the
Andover professors. withdrew his
name as such, saying he was satisfied
with the explanation given by Prof.
Smyth. 1t is noticeable that in the
prosecution of the alleged teachers of
heresy, the chief points made were not
that doctrines contrary to the scrip
lures had been taught. but that senti-
ments unauthorized by. the creed had
been promulgated. From this it Knight
be inferred that the creed is held supe.
rior to the Bible. For this strict adj
herence to creed there is offered the
reason the professors are pledged to
teach nothing not authorized in the
originally adopted creed of Andover.
Theological Seminary. Whatever may
be the right of this religious contro-
versy, reasoning from past experience,
this trial for heresy will give the doc
trines taught at Andover greater
prominence than ever before, and gain
new adherents to the sentiments which
have been taught. Such is almost in
variably the result where proceedings
have been instituted for honest differ
ences of sentiment, and especially
where the great body of intelligent
people see no necessity for such pro-
cedure.
The statements of all the accused
professors having been made, the hear
ing was ended. and the matter declared
adjourned. The final determination
has not been declared at this date.

HOW SHALL WE REACH
THEM.

The oleomargarine bill having be-
come a law does not mean boom in
butter except to those who make a
gilt-edge article. The day for selling
probably poor, rancid butter is gone
forever, and greater care than ever
should now be taken to improve and
maintain high quality of butter in the
dairy.-Spirit of the Farm.
True enough, every word of it. But
how are you going to reach the eyes,
the ears, and the convictions of the
farmers and their wives who make this
"poor, rancid butter. IF they knew
better they would do better. But not
one in FIVE hundred of them ever at
tends dairy convention where they
might learn something, and not one in
a thousand ever takes a dairy paper.
They shut themselves up away from
knowledge as though it was smallpox.
And yet they think the poor slush they
make is as good as the best butter in
the world. How shall we ever reach
these people and learn them better.
That is the hardest nut we ever tried to
crack.-Hoards Ddirymaa.
We would advise the makers of farm
butter to stop and look this matter
over. Can our farmers and their wives
afford to continue longer in this way of
making butter and selling it for ten
cents pound less than welLposted
dairymen get right in the open market.
BY clubbing with this paper they can
get the DAIRYMAN for small sum and
learn just how these well posted dairy
men handle their business. Remember
you get the KENosHA TELEGRAPH and the
weekly DAIRYMAN for the small sum Of
$3.50 by taking both papers together.
The regular price of the DAIRyMAN is 81

WHAT ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN


Winter is here, and about one-third
already gone. How are the young
men spending the winter evenings?
Will the young men be content with
succession of dramatic entertainments,
card parties and other ADJUSTMENTS de-
void OF intellectual advantage, or is
there a sentiment that aspires to some
thing more useful, elevating and in
structive? Amusements are not to be
deprecated; they have their place in
the life of every young person, and
when properly regulated are beneficial
and healthful; but these alone have
never laid the foundation of noble
character or an intelligent citizenship.
Some Of our best statesmen and those
who have risen to high distinction and
honor in the public service have &C.
knowledged their indebtedness to the
manner in which they spent their long
winter evenings in early life. 1t was
by the quiet evening freside, engaged
in the requirement of useful knowl-
edge, they laid the foundation for fu-
ture success more permanently than in
the school room. There are in the
city and country great numbers of
young men who will soon enter upon
the business activities Of lifein the va
rious occupations. They need a better
fitting than can be gained from popu-
lar amusements or the light story read
ing Of the day. There are among the
young men here and elsewhere those
who will come before the people at
some future day for positions of trust
and responsibility. IL is hoped the
time is not far off when no superficial,
half-educated, characterless men will
be chosen to fill any Office of Importance.
The day is nearing when men of worth
and irreproachable character will be
selected as candidates for offices of trust,
instead of men whose chief recon-
mendation is availability. The ques-
ton will not be asked, as now, "Can
the candidate command the vote of the
idlers and profligate? The. people of
this country are becoming educated to
the fact that men of honesty Integrity,
and we'll Informed in respect to the
true condition and wants of the coun-
try, are imperatively demanded for
legislators and judges, as we'll as for
the minor offices. The young man
who aspires to distinction and honor
in life will do well to apply much OF.
his leisure to the study of that which
will be of practical Importance in the

FOREIGN.

The British Parliament soon 10 meet
excites much interest. Parties are so
complicated ii is difficult to determine
with any certainty what line Of policy
will prevail. English politics are un-
like those of the United States; here
there are but two great national par.
Ties, and the line of action on the lead
ing questions of the day is inferred from
whichever of the two parties is tor the
time being in power. In England
there are subdivisions of parties, each
having leader, and it is only by effect
ing union between these distinctive
interests that any great measure can
be carried. The condition of Ireland,
and how best TO deal with that country,
is still one of tue leading questions
which rises above all others.

1t was divided under three general
heads or divisions-the individual;

ment The lecture was both able and
eloquent, and abounded in many fine
passages. The reasoning of the lee
turer was logical and forcible. In or
atorical delivery, Rev. O'Gorman has
been seldom surpassed by any former
lecturer in this place; he may be taken
as a model. Here it may not be out of
place to notice that in these later years
there has not been the pains-taking by
public speakers to carefully observe
the proprieties of manner when ap-
pearing before an intelligent audience.
1t has become the manner of speakers

YEARS AGO IN KENOSHA AND
VICINITY.

The first marriage in Racine county,
which then included the present county
of Kenosha, was in 1886. Mr.. Alfred
Cary and wife, of Racine, celebrated
their fftieth marriage anniversary on
Wednesday, last week. A large num-
Der of friends were present to congrat-
ulate the aged couple.
Capt. Gilbert Knapp was the first
settler in Racine: he came to that
place in 1884, then called Root River,
and built cabin in what is now the
city of Racine. Capt. Knapp is still
living, but in poor health.
A year later John Bullen, Judge
VIM. Bullen and E. G. Hart came to
Pike Greek, now Kenosha, and located
here; they were the first white men
known to have visited the place. They
started from Hannibal, Oswego county,
n. Y. in April, 1885, with one horse
and wagon to carry their luggage; the
journey was long and tedious one.
After many days they reached Grand
Haven, on the eastern shore of Lake
Michigan, where they found schooner
bound for Chicago. Leaving the horse
and wagon at Grand Haven, they took
passage for Chicago; on arriving at
that place they hired a French Indian
with double team. There was at
That time trail some miles back from
the lake shore, running from Chicago
and Milwaukee. After explorations
on the lake shore for a suitable point
to start town, they fixed upon what
is now known as Kenosha, June IL.

Is IT STOP, OR is 1T STOPPING

Is IT STOP, OR is 1T STOPPING?
1t is common to see in the local col
umns of newspapers announcements
like the following: Mr.. Jones is STOP
ping at the Grant House." The ques-
ton might be asked, when will Mr..
Jones stop stopping? He can stop any
number of times on journey. but it
is manifestly impossible for him to
continue stopping. A criticism here
might be well taken; stopping does
not imply inaction, but unfinished ac-
ton or motion. A wheel is in motion,
and when the motive power is grow
ing exhausted, and when the wheel is
about to cease revolving, it is said to
be stopping. When the last revolution
of the wheel is made, and motion has
ceased, we say it has come to stop.
Stopping. as applied in the cases men
toned, has become so common in use,
it is not easy to find a convenient SUBJ
stitute for it; therefore those who be-
lieve it is improperly used will make
no serious attempt to disturb it.

The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Young
Mems Christian Association gave re-
ception at the rooms of that institution
on New Years day, Coffee and re-
freshments were served to all visitors.
Many persons of both sexes awaited
themselves for the first time to see the
newly ftte1 up rooms. The rooms are
conveniently arranged and adapted to
the uses for which they are needed.
They are well lighted, the walls hand
sOmely papered, and there is an air Of
comfort about them. A beginning has
been made in the supply of newspapers,
periodicals and other reading matter.
A library in due time, it is expected,
will be added. Mrs. E. L, Grant, Pres
ident of the Ladies' Auxiliary, was
present at the rooms on Saturday, and
was assisted by other ladies in eXteLd-
ing welcome to visitors.
The work of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association will be more system
atically conducted after the arrival of
Mr.. Hammond, who has been engaged
as Secretary. Mr.. Hammond is highly
recommended for the position. He is
young man of energy and ability, and
although he has never had charge of
an association of this kind, he has
been actively identified with the work.
AS an evidence of his devotion to this
enterprise, he leaves Il salary of 5000 a
year as bookkeeper to accept 5000
salary here. He also has the offer of
5000 a year for Assistant Secretary in
Milwaukee, but prefers to come to Ke-
nosha at one-third less salary, under
the impression he can be more useful
here.

SUNDAY LAWS.

Vigorous measures have been taken
in quite a number of cities at the North
and in the South to enforce the SUM-
day law in respect to liquor selling.
In New Orleans from four to five hun
dred persons have been proceeded
against, mostly saloon keepers. Like
proceedings have been taken in other
cities North and South. The liquor
dealers, in order to avenge this attack
on their trade, insist the Sunday law
forbidding work, except of necessity,
shall be enforced against the meat
markets and all who sell supplies for
the table on Sunday. This does
not brighten much. Families can with
out much inconvenience procure what
they need on Saturdays, and willingly
do it. if thereby the groggeries are
closed on Sundays.

The session of the state legislature
will begin at Madison on Wednesday
next. No matters Of especial interest
to the people in general appear to be
pressing for legislative action. Prob
ably the usual number Of local bills
will be introduced. The routine busi-
ness, such as is required at every ses-
sion, will necessarily occupy the time
and attention of the legislature. The
appropriations necessary to keep the
machinery of government in motion
must be provided for. A few new
laws, and amendments to those now on
the statute book, may be required for
the general good, but there is quite as
much danger to be apprehended from
too much legislation us too little,
There always happens to be members
in our legislature who appear to think
that their reputation with their COnsti-
tUents depends upon their introducing
few bills and securing the enact
ment Of at least one into law, This
much they believe will be taken in
evidence Of their fitness for the posi-
ton they hold.
